The ladies of Soirees by Lauren are amazing! We hired them for Day Of and from beginning to end,…read morethey handled everything for our wedding day - even things I didn't even know I needed! Every time I turned around, someone was there to ask if I needed anything and to coordinate my vendors. I didn't have to think about anything the whole night! Their price is reasonable and I'm so grateful I had them by my side. I would highly recommend!

Ashley was the best wedding coordinator I could ever ask for; without her I would have never made…read moreit through the wedding process. Ashley was able to see my vision and also suggested additional creative ideas to help make them amazing. She has a creative eye that can work with any budget! Ashley also pays attention to 'little' details and ensures nothing is missed--many items of which I would not have thought twice about! Numerous times I would ask for my catering estimates/details or different photographer estimates and she was able to email them to me in a short period of time. She keeps everything in a binder and/or computer and everything you need is at her fingertips! Organization is definitely one of her greatest strengths! I feel this is a skill needed for smooth wedding planning because, let's face it, wedding planning is stressful! She also has a timeline in order to ensure things are done promptly, and she gave me small 'chunks' of tasks to accomplish so that the planning on my part was not overwhelming. Ashley is dedicated to making your wedding the most amazing stress free day of your life! I would recommend Soirees by Lauren to ANY bride!

I was looking for very last minute chairs to rent and am so glad I gave this company a call. I was…read moreable to meet up with the person I spoke with on the phone at a very convenient location the SAME day and get the chairs I needed for the event. The chairs were functional yet compact for easy transportation. Highly recommend this company for all your party rentals.

We were having a baby shower and need chairs and tables. I called alot of places that had minimums…read more One place had a $100 minimum. So i kept looking and I found this place online. They didn't have a minimum which was great. I called and spoke with the owner Ms Kelly and she was very nice and answered all my questions. The chairs and tables were reasonably priced and they were clean. We got 1 9ft table and 12 chairs for $40. They also have bounce houses and other concessions available for rent. The transaction was smooth. I told her what i needed, she quoted me, and emailed me an invoice. We signed the contract and paid online also. When we arrived they loaded the stuff quickly and we were off... I will definitely refer my friends here and I'll use their services again in the future!!! Check check check them out!!!

I hired Mermaid Ariana for Yelp Richmond's biggest party of the year: Yelp Drops It Like it's…read moreYacht! She was everything I could have ever wanted and so much more! As you can see from the photos, she is beautiful. The sick back tattoo takes her look over the top in the best way. You can tell that she is very passionate about performing and entertaining your guests! From working with her behind the scenes, I can tell you that she is super professional and amazing to work with. She is very communicative throughout the whole process. We texted back and forth from the time I hired her up until the day of the event. She let me know that she needed a place to get dressed and a strong man to carry her to the pool once she got her fin on AKA "masnportation" ;). After she made her grand entrance, she was working the crowd for the full two hours. Perching up on the side of the pool to pose for photos between bouts of swimming around and doing tricks in the water. If you thought that mermaids only appeal to kids, you were wrong! While she would be lovely to have at a children's birthday party, she is also great for adults as well. Mermaid Ariana also does many other forms of entertaining, from fire breathing to aerial. I do not hesitate to recommend her to anyone!

O.M.G. After our event, I asked every guest to name just ONE thing they remember from our special…read moreday. Nearly everyone stated something from Nicole's team. The mermaid, the stilt walking, the aerial displays, the party pumpers. We honestly feel she is underpriced because she is...Just. That. Amazing. Without Nicole and her team, we would have had just another boring wedding. Nicole put herself everywhere, even helping transition events so other vendors had time. I have never met someone so full of resources, so talented, and so very passionate about making the customer happy. She is also extremely transparent, often informing us far in advance if she foresees a change or a price difference. Anyone who goes out of their way to create custom outfits for her team - just to match the colors on your special day - is a gem. I cannot WAIT to have the opportunity to invite Nicole back to one of our events!

I came across Mrs. Mills through a Facebook a year before my original wedding date. I followed her closely before I made contact and couldn't help admiring how helpful she appeared to be, her professionalism with current brides/ wedding events, and even her own sweet love story. Mrs. Mills was ready for anything and everything I through her way and she handled it me with so much calm energy and care. She was so helpful when I told her I couldn't afford her full package and she still gave me all the support and confidence I needed to be successful with my budget! She also helped me navigate through planning when I found out I was pregnant. She even was able to support our plans of going from no bridal party to a party of 14 people (not including 2 people who dropped last minute). Mrs. Mills helped me plan every hour and minute of my day. She gave me the best advice when I needed it and she was my biggest hype man. I could not have gotten married without Mrs. Mills. Her service is worth every penny and her kind soul is priceless. My only regret is she doesn't coordinate first birthday parties!!! lol we love Mrs. Mills and thank you so much for everything!!!! (Peep Mrs. Mills to the left of our cake cutting as she saved us from our cake falling over lol she is a life saver) lol
